I can’t breathe, and the media telling me to keep quiet. Suffocating me into silence!! The devils greatest trick, convincing the world that we were the ones who were violent. Naw they the ones deficient, insufficient comprehension of their barbaric existence. Y’all worried about this pandemic when our grandparents still trying to recover from when you gave them Syphilis! Because in our blood, We scared of the white cells. Attacking our immunity. The system. Defective. Infected. So Who has the disease you or me? Because I’m at a dis ease, dis advantage, dismantled, disability, of your white knees killing me, been on our neck for centuries, knees or trees, either way you still lynching me!

We are a people of peace but like Pac said I ain’t no killer but your policies are push me further to the ledge-is-lation jumping off The edge-u-cation while your skin heads to damnation and your Klan-destined rhetoric will forever be evident, f**k the elite and the top 3 percent I’m heaven sent!
I was born Asiatic and you made me asthmatic, so f**k your vaccines and masks, you gonna worry about these hands tomorrow cuz you can’t sanitize the past. You may have took my last breath. But you’ll never colonize my Spirit, Standing there watching while I die .... I can’t breathe and you still can’t hear it! #SpokenSundays #ICANTBREATHE #AGAIN #GEORGEFLOYD #JUSTICEFORFLOYD #NCREDIBLE #THEICANTBREATHEACT ✊🏿
